Snowman Soup (Sugar and Fat Free)

By Harlean Greathouse

This is my Christmas tip. I have a friend who is diabetic, and cannot have anything with sugar, but also cannot use Nutrasweet as it gives him headaches. So I devised a sugar free (also fat free) hot chocolate mix using Splenda. I put the mix in a clear jar, and labeled it with a paint pen. I wrote "Snowman Soup" on it and randomly made "Snowflakes" around the jar.

The recipe:

  • 2 cups fat free milk powder,
  • 1 cup fat free coffee creamer
  • 1 1/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/4 cups Splenda.

Mix thoroughly and place in covered container.

To use, measure 1/3 cup into mug and fill with hot water. Stir well, enjoy!

If you can have sugar you can add it instead of the Splenda, but just want some low calorie hot chocolate, this would also be good, and you could even slip in a few mini-marshmallows .
